It's reasonably the only way to go, really. Just be aware with torsion bars that you'll want to absolutely flood the keys in PB blaster for a solid week before pulling them apart, and they will almost always be under load, even when free-hanging. Be careful if you've never worked with torsion springs before.

Yeah I heave worked with them before doing some front end work. But I find it hard to believe that there is barely any kits for these dakotas

Dak/Dur platform is very under-supported. There are no spindle lift kits or anything of the sort for the front. Keys and blocks are the only option. Many many moons ago Tough Country IIRC made a kit but it was D/C'd probably 8-10 years ago
